rers by such law wherever their land
ords agreed to put up such division
enes. MIR. Mccoy asked II Mr.. Wilson
,ad ever heard New CASTLE
county landlord ask for a barbed
wire fence. Mr.. Wilson answered ]
sIf you don't want this law, go far as !
nm concerned you shan't have it." That
settled IL, so far as the New CASTLE men
we're concerned, and the vote being taken
on MIR. Nornys amendment, II went
through with will aud without an OPP
posing vote.
Then came Rents turn. II was soon |
that the delegation from this |
county was divided; Messrs. Harrington.
Lowber, Scotten and Temple fayoring and
Messrs. Allaband, Jones and Taylor OPP |
posing wire fences. The contest waged
ferceiy. The Allaband men fought with
desperation; the Harrington men stood
unyieldingly together. A short speech of
Mr.. Harrington's, TO the effect that
the tenant had nothing to say about
the fencing of the farm he occupied; II
he didn't like Il he could go somewhere
else. This incited Mr.. Mccoy 20 vehe-
mently inquire whether he was then TO
infer that poor man had no rights. Mr..
TAYLOR was equally excited. Mr.. Har-
rinaton replied that he had been misun-
derstood what he meant Was that the
tenant had no legal right TO say TO his
landlord, you shall put up such and such
fence, and put 1t here or put i there.
Mr.. Jones moved TO further amend "this
act shall not apply to Kent county" a
rising vote resulting In tie to ., aud
the Kent men voting four to three against
the amendment, Speaker McOabe, guided
by the will of the Kent majority, gave his
| casting vote against the amendment and
declared II lost.
Then came the final struggle. New
| Castle had been exempted entirely from
wire fences; Kent had got them In an
| optional degree; the Sussex delegation
stood s to q (Waples and Dasey) for the
s'whole hog" Mr.. Taylor implored the
New CASTLE men to come to the aid OF the
Kent minority and help them kill the
whole bill. New Castles votes, with
8 from Kent and 2 from Sussex, would
have done 1t. Mr.. Smalley, speaking fol-
the majority of his county, replied thai
he felt in honor bound to vote for the
bill since the Sussex men wanted 1t and
had let New Castle out. Two New Castle
men, Messrs. Mccoy and Medill, dis
sented. They were down on wire fences
first, last and all the time. The yeas ant
NAYS were called, and the amended bill
passed by vote Of IS to z, as follows
